According to White House and Washington Beltway insiders, the Bush administration, worried that it could lose the presidential election to Senator John F. Kerry, has initiated plans to launch a military strike on Iran's top Islamic leadership, its nuclear reactor at Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, and key nuclear targets throughout the country, including the main underground research site at Natanz in central Iran and another in Isfahan.
Wouldn't any US administration be constantly drawing up plans for all sorts of attacks in all sorts of scenarios?
Isn't that how the Taliban were defeated where no-one thought it possible - because the Clinton adminstration had drawn up plans for this attack, well before 9-11-01?
It's still creepy, and the idea of targeting mullahs and mosques is against everything the US has been for 200 odd years, but I suspect that plans like this are called for then filed away more or less continually.
